Molly's Best Granola

There is no better gift than a healthy homemade treat! A bag of this granola will definitely make your loved one's day, but make sure to keep some for yourself! I like making my own granola to keep the sugar content in check. I mix in nuts for added protein and dried mulberries and goji berries for fiber and an antioxidant boost. The coconut and chia seeds also give you that healthy fat that will keep you energized and satisfied Enjoy!
